As soon as a head popped up from the ward over there, Ye Kong noticed it immediately.

The words she was about to use to scold this idiot were suddenly stuck in her throat. Some basic principles of how to behave in society that she had never cared about suddenly popped up in her mind, making it difficult for her to speak again.

Qu Wu was still holding her back and asked, "Say something, what do you mean?"

Ye Kong: ...

She forcibly pulled her hand out and patiently uttered two words: "For now."

Qu Wu still looked ready to catch her at any time, staring at her closely: "What do you mean temporarily?"

"Stay with your mother for now and don't worry about me or come to the coffee shop!"

"why?"

"Your mother is injured and bedridden. Shouldn't you be staying with her?" Ye Kong suddenly stepped closer, stared at Qu Wu and lowered his voice. "What do you mean by Huaye needs you to take time out to work? The fact is that Huaye will not die even if it lacks manuscripts or stops publication a few times. Do you know why... Qu Wu?"

She once again called her by her full name. Above the mask, her dark eyes reflected the overhead light. She was surprisingly serious and cold. "When will you realize that I don't need you as much as you think? The person who really needs you all the time is your mother. But even at this time, when your mother is lying in the hospital bed, do you still want to take care of me?"

She continued to move forward, her voice lower: "I won't thank you, Qu Wu, and you know that."

"..." Qu Wu's pupils narrowed slightly, and she murmured subconsciously, "I just want you to be happier."

"...Everything you do has nothing to do with my happiness, and you know that." Ye Kong said softly, "Don't waste too much energy on me. I don't even have the feeling of gratitude - you should also know this."

"Stay with your mother."

The elevator opened behind him, and Ye Kong turned and walked in. "If you appear in front of me before your mother is discharged from the hospital, get out of my sight with everything you have."

Qu Wu: ...

The metal door slowly closed.

Having only heard the last sentence, Mr. Qu could no longer wait and rushed out, howling loudly: "Hey, don't leave! I can be discharged from the hospital today!"

Ye Kong: ...

At the last second before the elevator closed, the corner of the girl's mouth hidden under the mask twitched slightly.

-

The door closed, blocking those cold-blooded eyes.

Qu Wu's hands froze in the cold air.

In fact, Qu Wu had heard similar words many times. She thought her ears were callused and her heart had long been accustomed to continuing to shamelessly stick to her in the face of such hurtful words. But today, perhaps because her mother was by her side, she actually felt the pain for the first time in a long time.

Mr. Qu turned to look at his daughter and carefully touched her hair: "Baby, are you okay?"

“……”Tears suddenly flowed out of Qu Wu’s eyes.

President Qu was horrified and held her face in his hands, quickly took off his mask, and kept wiping her tears and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Whatever she said must have been just a momentary angry remark."

"It's not just an angry remark." Qu Wu said expressionlessly with tears streaming down her face, "She really doesn't need me."

"Even if I didn't open a coffee shop for her, she could still buy a house and live on her own. Even if I didn't open a magazine for her, there are magazines willing to pay exorbitant prices for her manuscripts and worship her like a god. Even if I didn't manage her assets and invest for her, she could still find a big shot in the industry to be her manager - even for such a big project as the art gallery she built in Huahe, she didn't need me to show up, nor did she need my money."

Qu Wu's eyes turned red: "She is right, everything I did has nothing to do with her happiness - I am a worthless person to her."

Qu Zong always felt like he had heard this kind of thing before, but he definitely couldn't say it at this moment. He could only hold his daughter's face and said distressedly, "How is it worthless? Didn't she come to see her mother specially? If she didn't care about you, why would she come to see your mother?"

"She came here just to chase me away!" Qu Wu became increasingly agitated. "She asked me to stay in the hospital to take care of you, and even stopped me from managing Huaye! She wanted to take this opportunity to draw a line in the sand with me and never have any contact with me again!"

The more Qu Wu talked, the more she felt that this was the case. She couldn't help but feel fear and sadness welling up in her heart. Especially when her mother kept trying to hug her and looking at her with extremely heartbroken and worried eyes, as if she wanted to cry with her, she felt more and more aggrieved and unbearable, and finally she actually burst into tears.

"Ye Kong is a heartless stone man!!! She is the one who is so self-centered and crazy! She is so heartless that she is not even a human being!!!"

Qu Wu suddenly sat down on the ground, just like the way she did when she first met Ye Kong in Yuzhou, letting her tears flow, "I will never care about her again."

Mr. Qu was so anxious that he almost jumped up, but he could only squat down, but he let out a "hiss" sound because of the pain in the wound.

The sound of "hiss" vaguely broke into Qu Wu's buzzing brain, making her suddenly clear-headed. She tilted her head and stared at Mr. Qu who was about to lie down too. She suddenly sat up like a carp and held her mother.

Faced with the woman's surprised look and the question "Are you not lying down anymore?", Qu Wu's tears flowed even more violently.

There weren't many people coming and going on the VIP ward floor of the private hospital. In the cold white corridor, Qu Wu looked at her mother and for the first time, she said those three words softly with unbearable guilt: "I'm sorry."

·

Ye Kong put on his hat as soon as he left the hospital, and then took the bus back to Yushan University.

Enter the store through the back door.

Xiao Jin had been driven away by her a long time ago. At this moment, the door of the coffee shop was locked and the street lights in the school had just been turned on, making the shop even more empty and dark.

But she still didn't turn on the light.

He just took off his mask and hat in front of the bar, then made himself a cup of lethally sweet honey tea and drank it slowly.

There are only three days left until Wen Rong’s birthday party.

The people from Nangang only came to Yuzhou for a few days.

They came to the coffee shop to find her today.

——She came to the store to cause trouble in the morning, and Qu Wu’s mother was beaten in the afternoon.

The efficiency is still as always, amazingly fast.

But this is Yuzhou after all, not Nangang - otherwise, she might have to go to the ICU to see someone today.

And if that were the case, Qu Wu would inevitably go crazy and commit a crime.

After finishing one cup, Ye Kong made another one.

The glass was placed on the bar, making a loud and ethereal sound.

The black marble tabletop vaguely reflected the girl's eyes, which were pitch black, even darker and more bottomless than the boundless night at this moment, and chillingly cold.

——Fortunately, this is Yuzhou, not Nangang.

Ye Kong thought so and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
